Bad Door Hinge

Bad Door Hinge
The lower driver's side door hinge (with the cam and spring) seems to be bad on my Z. When it hits the second "notch" it makes a loud snapping sound (very embarassing). Before I replace it, I wanted to ask if anyone knows a way to fix it? Or did it just get old and die? I tried lubing it, but that didn't seem to help.
Thanks,

i did the ghetto method .. i cut the locking arm off.. used a die grinder and cut that thing right off.. now it opens and closes without that lound and embarassing noise... only problem is it wont lock and stay open.. but thats okay with me.. i just go in and out anywys...

I tried grease,wd, anything to lube it. Problem was it was wore out and nothing would stop the loud pop except replacing the hinge. So when it finally broke it made no more pop, only draw back is door will not stay open on its own......
